Sort of. I can read comfortable in the car, a room with lots of background noise, or outdoors. It is difficult for me to read in silence now.

@foliefortuna For a while when I first got T I could do silent reading for a bit then switched to how you read.
Now my T is so loud I just can't melt into the book, no the cover noise now. I'm sure it's a mind over matter thing, since I used to read in super noisy environments all the time.

That's how I was I could tune out anything for my lovely books, and I think that's what saved me at the beginning of my T.
Looking at my results my low is 65db where it can be masked. When it spikes it's higher for car rides and such. It spikes after a shower too, but at least I can't hear it in there anymore.

He told me that was pretty mild T. Though the paper graph he marked it on says "severe". *shrugs* I can't imagine what db levels the people going through there are measuring at. Especially since everyone preaches that "severe" T is rare.
Mild T, to me, is what I had before. Where any sound, and even just thinking could block out my T.
